No, this is silly. Don't do this. You absolutely keep pushing for a refund and go via you CC provider if they don't respond.

And risk being locked out of the world’s online marketplace and all of Amazon’s other businesses? Maybe a bit hyperbolic but that’s where we are headed for sure.

It's perfectly feasible to never use Amazon. I don't know your situation, but i think people should go out more and prefer quality over quantity. Most of the stuff that Amazon sell is crap anyway.

The world's marketplace is alibaba.com, or aliexpress.com for individual orders.

You can find 99% of the junk on amazon on aliexpress for a lower price, though without prime shipping.

You can do without Amazon. Should you really want to get something you can ask a friend to get it for you but I really think you won't need that.

Have you never been banned in a video game and wanted to get back in? You create a new account and call it a day.

It's not like you should feel bad about playing dirty with a company that considers it fine to just steal $1k.

For $1000 I'd definitely risk it and kick up a fuss about it if they locked me out.
